Description: | An incomplete Hod Hill variant type brooch of mid 1st century date.
The head consists of a sub-trapezoidal plate, the top edge of which has been rolled backwards to hold the axis bar. The now-missing pin would have emanated from a slot at the centre of the head. The remaining part of the bow is T-shaped, the side lugs at the top extending beyond the width of the head. Each side lug is decorated with two vertical ridges. The centre of the bow has a raised band with irregular voids across its surface and this band is flanked on either side by a plain ridge. The foot section is missing.
The brooch measures 27.2mm high, 33.6mm wide and 12.5mm deep. The weight is 5.93g. | Subjects: | Hod Hill variant | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
